<P>Dear Parminder and Bill</P>
<P>Just a point of clarification:</P>
<P>As far as I remember, during the last GFC meeting, both Ghana and the Dominican Republic intervened on behalf of their rspective regional bodies, i.e. the African Union and the LAC Community.</P>
<P>best regards</P>

EU, US and Canada have<BR>> made contributions that mean to replace the existing text of para 10 and 11.<BR>> And the only developing countries that have made contributions that indicate<BR>> that they will like to take the existing suggested mechanisms forward are<BR>> Ghana and Dominician Republic. (Though those who haven't made submissions<BR>> cant be taken to have no views on this part. It may mean that they approve<BR>> of the present text, and will like further negotiations on it.) <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Parminder <BR>> <BR>> _________________________________________________<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
